That's the point - I was kind of asking for examples from you, seeing as how I lack a frame-by-frame tape player.

I don't tape games anymore. Now I dvd them and erase them after watching 2 or 3 times. I don't have anything recorded right now to where I could go point out an example to you. Next time either plays, I will make it a point to point something out in my report. (if either ever plays) PS, I use to keep 4 seasons back of tapes. Some games a lot longer.

Even more remarkable: The Thunder starting lineup is actually functioning offensively! It is officially more watchable than a Tayshaun Prince isolation! The starting five has so far scored 106.7 points per 100 possessions, below the Thunder’s sterling overall mark, but still the equivalent of a top-five scoring rate. Even more shocking: This five has assisted on 63.9 percent of their made baskets, better than the Thunder’s overall mark and just about equal to Boston’s assist rate — the second-highest in the league.

1. Don't complain so much when calls don't go your way and spend that time getting back on defence.

Monroe, Stuckey, Tay are the worst culprits. Monroe is horrible and complains on just about every call and the And1 should only be used when its likely to go in, not every time you actually get the ball out of your hands. It is making him an unlikable player (to me too) and he just needs to look at Stuckey to realise how it can lower your grade in the refs eyes. For Stuckey, it is a big part of his game and he just doesn't get calls anymore.

2. Push the ball on defensive rebounds.

The only players that seem to are Knight and Singler and then they are outnumbered usually. Even in an even or opposition 3 on 4 setting, they are backtracking and open up the D

3. Bench support; not the non starters, but those on the bench supporting with their voice and actions.

The only time we usually see this is when Drummond jams it. But you watch GSW and they were up off the seats on good D, good ball movement, open 3 looks. They were move active than the Pistons who were at home with their crowd behind them. It is one of the reasons the energy is so low on road games to I think.

Thank Draymond Greene for that, seriously. His energy and leadership are contagious everywhere he goes. GS bench was even using Saginaw High's trademark, "Yeeeeaaaaahhhhh" when the defense made a great play in front of their bench, it goes back about 20 years around these parts. I was grinning from ear to ear when I heard it, had about half-a-dozen texts and phone calls asking me if I heard them/him......it was really cool. Love That KID!

I think that Draymond Green is gonna be a damn fine pro when it's all said and done.
